Re: perlmonks.thepen.com is gone?

It still works for me and I am sure it was not a cache I was looking at.

perlmonks.thepen.com resolves to blca.blazenet.net which seems to be the ISP hosting this site. So it is still active.

Maybe not a cached page, but you're using cached DNS to get there, surely, as Network Solutions has changed the nameservers (see the whois record or query a root nameserver) and pointed it at their pending delete page. Try querying NS1.PENDINGRENEWALDELETION.COM -- query for the A record of any domain at all, and it returns a CNAME to their little site. user@server% dig @NS1.PENDINGRENEWALDELETION.COM foofooblahblah.net a ; <<>> DiG 9.2.3rc4 <<>> @NS1.PENDINGRENEWALDELETION.COM foofooblahbla +h.net a ;; global options: printcmd ;; Got answer: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 40648 ;; flags: qr aa rd; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 2, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 0 ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;foofooblahblah.net.

UPDATE (Jan 24 2005): It looks like the domain was renewed by the owner and the nameservers restored, so things should be back to normal pending any DNS propagation.
